The 'OMG Vital Update!!!' is a common marketing technique, I recently read a book on Internet SEO and marketing and the such and a common technique is to create a sense of urgency to swoop people up, 'to get what no other person can offer you', i wouldn't be surprised if there is 'always' going to be a vital update prior to some seminar/trip/holiday/consult etc....

[size="3"]According to legend and the epic classic, The Saga of Erik the Red, upon returning home from his banishment from Iceland, Erik the Red came up with a clever ruse to convince his cohorts to follow him to a land that he had become familiar with during his time away.  This land was barren, mostly ice covered, featured strong winds, cold temperatures, and stood hundreds of miles to the west (a treacherous journey for longboats). In order to manipulate his people into following him, Erik the Red, one heck of a salesman, understood "Men will desire much the more to go there if the land has a good name." Therefore, he misled his loyal constituency and told them they should go with him to the land that sounded better and actually was a lot nicer than where they lived, Iceland, to a place he cleverly misnamed Greenland. By doing so, Erik the Red pulled off the most misleading climate yarn of all time.

Within few decades their whole colony died out because of cold and harsh climate. Only survived the son of Eric the Red who had left for the America. He became the first Viking to reach the land of America.

That time Greenland was really a habitable region and green, too. The Vikings did have good living places there for about 300 years.

The climate in 1000 A.C.  was much warmer that time, around 1300 A.C.  The climate suddenly become colder in that region overthere, and the same happened in Western Europe.

Wasnt it Gwar that wants to destroy humanity, so the punguins could become the new leading specie of this planet?

Only the southern part of Greenland.

At the time of 1000 ac there was also about 70 percent forrests in scandinavia, by the 1800 century we are talking about 3 percent.(before the first laws of keeping the forrests were introduced, and today they look at this law, as evolution of democracy and human rights). Now they have the percentage of the land occupied by trees up to 13 percent.

Probably why the climate was more stabile at that time, we haid a photosyntesis, and the christians didnt christianize the north completely, so there was still worshiping of nature at that time:D. And we werent sistematicly ruining our surroundings

Also how did the vikings end up in greenland?
They where fleeing the invasion of christian saxons and franks.
Since they were about to loose the war.

That is also how the icelandic(actually Danish pagan viking refugees) ended up in America.

Diogenes, thanks for the extra info.

You should contact Stewart, he is still busy to write a book about vikings moving to America that time. Probably, your personal info from Denmark is accurate for it.

That is common knowledge, so he should know it.

And the text above about greenland is not that bad, southern greenland was green but only during the warmer months.

P.s I am not the biggest fan of swerdlow.

It 's about vikings reaching the US states Michigan and Wyoming. That is not so common knowledge as far as I know.

There is something more to say about Greenland: the very north-end; the opening at the inner Earth, where climate is much warmer, too. I thought the vikings knew this.

I dont know if they new it, maybe they found something out when they fled .
Why they ended up in Greenland is what I said is common knowledge.

The oppening is not common knowledge :D
